1. Product Composition & Specifications

The Bardex 165820 is a sterile, two-way Foley catheter constructed from 100% medical-grade silicone, making it free of natural rubber latex. It has a 20 French external diameter (~6.7 mm) and features a 5 cc retention balloon. The catheter includes a standard, rounded tip and two opposing drainage eyes, designed for consistent and effective urinary drainage. It is packaged in boxes of 12, supporting both clinical efficiency and infection control.

2. Design Advantages & Performance

Silicone material offers excellent biocompatibility, resisting urethral irritation and encrustation, which supports both short- and long-term use—including durations up to 12 weeks. Its smooth, non-coated surface and rounded tip facilitate gentle insertion and removal, enhancing patient comfort. The two-way configuration enables continuous bladder drainage and irrigation if needed.

3. Clinical Applications & Benefits

This catheter is suitable for urethral or suprapubic use in managing urinary retention, postoperative care, incontinence, or long-term drainage in neurogenic bladder conditions. Its latex-free design makes it ideal for patients with latex sensitivities. With a robust 5 cc balloon for secure retention and all-silicone construction for reduced complications, the Bardex 165820 is a reliable option for various clinical and home-care settings.
